Since I’m clearing a backlog of ratings, I might as well make this #600. Bottle, from one of the stores flogging them in Bruges. Murky brown pour with a thick tan head. Big Dark fruit aromas, caramel, spices, fairly complex. Taste is similar, with big, plummy, winey dark fruit, caramel, cloves, big long, oily finish. It really is a fantastic beer

Bottle. Pours dark brown with ruby red shining throught the semi cloudy liquid. Nice frothy medium sized head. Aroma of dark fruit (black cherries, prunes...), caramel. Tastes more of the same with a nice not over the top warmth from the alcohol. Not too sweet, just perfect.

Bottle from Mane Liquor in Perth - I’ve been waiting so long to find a bottle of Westvleteren and it finally turned up in Perth
Poured murky brown with a nice frothy head. Aroma is spicy and complex with notes of dark fruit, malt and caramel. Tastes spicy and malty with a hint of sweetness and the alcohol was quite evident. Amazing on the palate and simply exceptional.
